New features of SQL Server 2005 (now in Beta) include improved data mining tools. The Business Intelligence (BI) Development Studio integrated into Visual Studio� lets you add data mining to your development toolbox. A data mining project can exist alongside any other development project in your Visual Studio solutions. For example, you can do all of the following without leaving the designer: design models to predict product cross-sales in an Analysis Services project, periodically retrain your models in a DTS project, and build a Web site that takes advantage of the predictive power of data mining in a Web project -- then package them up in one portable solution.
